Given the spectrum of therapies available to date for the management of MO secondary to BRVO, aflibercept appears to be an effective treatment option in cases refractory to ranibizumab. This study based on a small cohort of patients indicates that satisfactory results on retinal anatomy and visual outcomes can be accomplished with a smaller number of injections. Larger-scale studies are needed to extrapolate these promising results.
